Chapter 22 (1/2)

Refund

The day she promised to meet Karhan has come.

While sitting in front of the dressing table, Lilia recalled her meeting with Richard a few days ago.

When she was about to leave at the end, Richard screamed and tried to grab her.

However, Lilia had two great escorts.

Richard, who was stopped by Franchse and Malik, couldn’t overcome his anger and caused a disturbance.

Then, when the store owner called the guards, he finally calmed down.

Lilia took advantage of that gap and returned home. She had said everything she wanted to say, so there would be no separate meeting between the two.

From now on, he had to create a reason for why he had no choice but to agree to the breakup.

After the dressing was over, Lilia got up from her seat.

“Thank you.”

“Have a safe trip, miss.”

The employees smiled and saw Lilia off.

Lilia paused as she walked through the hallway after exiting the bedroom.

In the middle of the hallway, a man stood by the window with a ray of light shining on him.

It was Heinley, whose blond hair was shining in the sun.

“Brother?”

At Lilia’s call, Heinley slowly turned his head. She walked over there and asked.

“Isn’t it time for you to go to work?”

“I’m on vacation.”

A cold reply came back.

Lilia stopped at a reasonable distance from Heinley and looked at him.

He also faced Lilia, it was a short moment, but awkwardness flowed out.

After the day when they had a conversation alone, there was almost no encounter with each other.

“You’re going out, aren’t you?”

“Yes, I’d like to meet the Little Duke of Evanteon.”

Heinley’s eyes narrowed.

Lilia later realized she hadn’t told Heinley only about Karhan.

“Ah, that…”

She was going to explain briefly, but he answered casually.

“I heard it roughly from our parents.”

It wasn’t on purpose, but she thought Heinley might have felt left out alone.

She looked up at him with a sorry face, and she could see a cold look over the silver-rimmed glasses.

Lilia bit the inside of her lips gently.

When she said she was in a relationship with Karhan, her parents didn’t respond very well.

The rumors surrounding Karhan were not so good after all.

Maybe Heinley also had a similar idea as their parents.

“Brother, maybe… we can have a meal together later?”

Heinley glanced at Lilia.

“I want to tell you in detail while eating together. Or maybe just a moment…”

Lilia plucked up her courage in her own way.

Their relationship was broken because of her, so she was trying to get it back.

“Okay, I’ll leave some time empty.”

Upon hearing his answer, Lilia sighed with relief. She was anxious about being rejected.

A moment of silence fell, then Lilia asked.

“I think I’ll be late for my appointment, so can I go now?”

He nodded his head.

When Lilia tried to leave first, Heinley called her up.

He spoke in a cold tone without making any eye contact.

“It’s supposed to rain this afternoon. Don’t bother your employees for nothing. Take your umbrella.”

“I’ll take my umbrella. Thank you.”

Lilia took the first step.

Heinley stood tall and stared at her back.

And when Lilia disappeared completely, he swept up his head.

“Ha………..”

A deep sigh burst out unknowingly.

As he talked to Iilia, the cold tone kept popping out. It was not easy to say pleasant words because of the long-standing habit.

Heinley knew how sharp and cold his tone was. Several people who talked to him had also shed tears.

Still, he was a friendly brother to Lilia, but after their relationship broke up, it became no different from others.

Lilia didn’t express herself much either, but she must have been hurt.

“It would be nice if I could be more honest.”

Muttering to himself, he slowly looked out the window.

Lilia was just getting on the carriage in front of the front door.

Heinley glanced at the scene and immediately grabbed an employee and said.

“I’m going out now, get a carriage ready for me.”

After leaving the mansion in a carriage, Lilia arrived at the downtown area.

Lilia, who was walking towards the music box store with a carriage parked at the entrance of the alley, was surprised to see the incredibly long line.

“What is it?”

Has something new been released?

Or did a product get released with limited sale?

Lilia walked slowly along the line like salmon against the river. Lilia then stopped for a moment after passing by a number of people.

The source of the line was Lilia’s music box shop.

‘Was it not long ago that this place had been incredibly quiet?’

Only Lilia, the president, didn’t know why it suddenly hit the jackpot.
